Bromelain aids digestion by enhancing the effects of the digestive enzymes trypsin and pepin. It can also help to prevent heartburn by ease diarrhea, if either are caused by a deficiency of digestive enzymes

Quote:

Bromelain has potent anti-inflammatory properties and therefore may be useful in promoting the healing of minor muscle injuries such as sprains and strains. Results of one study also found evidence to suggest that it can help to improve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. When applied topically it may help to speed wound healing

Didn't realise Bromelain was in kiwi fruit as well, but yes, as Tann mentioned, it contains Bromelain.

Bromelain is also good to use pre-surgery, it helps the walls of the cells recuperate or some such thing; I would look it up in my book but can't be bothered but basically, pineapple (any Bromelian containing fruit) is good for the artery/cell walls and helps with recovery from internal surgery due to how it affects the blood/cell structures etc.

When I started eating fresh pineapple everyday, as I also heard it is very anti-inflammatory, the inflammation in my eyes and facet joints also declined. I believe it is partially responsible for my healing. I have been eating it religiously every day (good thing Costco sells it fresh cut all year long) and my inflammation has stayed away.
